Numen, defined as the animating force in nature, is a 95-minute documentary film focusing on the healing power of plants and the natural world.

Featuring stunning footage of medicinal plants and thought-provoking interviews with Drs. Tiearona Lowdog and Larry Dossey, the late Bill Mitchell, ND, author Kenny Ausubel, herbalists Rosemary Gladstar, Phyllis Light and many others, the film calls for a re-awakening of traditional knowledge about plants and their uses.

 
Numen is for herbalists, gardeners, medical practitioners, plant lovers - and everyone concerned about human and environmental health.

It makes us feel kind of small, huh....
